A summary of the discussion in the room where it happens.
It is of no doubt that healthcare should be accessible to all since it is understood to be a vital human right. However, as Breitbart rightly pointed out in a tweet, “If healthcare is a right, why is there still 21% for-profit hospitals???” Welcome to our flawed healthcare, right here in America.
Here in the room where it happens, senators discuss healthcare reforms. Luckily, our favourite representatives have the intellect to realise that the system is flawed and in need of change. Change for the better. They’ve also realised that they’re sucking up too much money from the citizens. From the rising cost of premiums despite ObamaCare to rejecting considerations of increasing taxes to fund the healthcare policies, our efforts to raise awareness for the poor have worked out. Politicians are now obliged to take them into consideration to maintain their political support and power. Besides ObamaCare, the points of contention include how the government should (or should not) involve itself in the healthcare system, how to ensure the minorities are included, whether the individual senators take charge of healthcare policies in their respective state, whether a single payer healthcare system should be in place, et cetera.
It’s quite some fun watching Trump’s tweets follow the discussions of the Senate, with Trump consistently pushing for the repeal of ObamaCare, slamming Senators Harris, Sanders and showing his enthusiastic support for other senators with his use of upper-cased letters. All these while not forgetting to remind his followers of his grandeur.
I’m glad that we, the people on the ground, have been loud enough for the government to consider the financial burden on citizens who can barely make ends meet, pregnant women and the elderly. However, this is not enough. In 2017, almost half the adults who were uninsured said it was because they could not afford it. The funny part is that without insurance, the medical bills are way higher. Imagine being unable to get subsidies because you are too poor, and just being left to die. This is the reality of the poor uninsured people.
The Senate went to cover a broad range of flaws. The suggestions include to reduce the premiums, to provide individuals with more choices of healthcare, block grants. Most importantly, Bernie Sanders brought up Universal Healthcare. Why can’t we be like the Nordic countries? There is a sure reason why their happiness has always been so high. It’s because they actually bother about the wellbeing of their people! Bernie, our man, was the person who brought diabetic patients to Canada to get insulin. He’s the only sound one who cares for the Americans around here.
Many of our dear politicians brought up economic concepts such as market structures and demand-supply. Indeed, an economics major is looked favourable upon for a governmental position and I see why only today. It is indeed a good way to sound smart and deviate from the focus of council. If the Senate really cares about healthcare, it can just make healthcare free. Of what use, would these economics concepts then be? Useless. That’s right. The only reason they seemed remotely relevant is because Senate is trying to escape from the real problem.
Exhibit A, a demand and supply curve. This relic of Martha McSally’s economics lecture features a friendly journalist from SABC.
It was quite an experience sitting in the Senate. It makes one really see how the fat cats try to wrestle their way through, tearing things apart to feel superior and accomplished the cheap way. Some make use of the party to lobby alliance. So what even if you’re a Democrat, so what even if you’re a Republican? Ultimately you all are just politicians attempting to make our nation better, regardless of how effective you all actually are. If you’re gonna put up an act of serving the people, might as well pretend to collaborate so we can cut out those drama.
Stop fussing over the constructs of the party and pre-existing policies. It doesn’t matter. We don’t need complex nor complicated systems, we need systems that work for our people, our American citizens.
No doubt, America is in a mess. What are we gonna do? Wait for the government to sit around insisting on how their party should do things? Can’t you all white collared people do research on the ground and find out what people actually want? What our individual Americans rightfully require?
Oh let me give you the short answer: Universal Healthcare, free of charge.
